Real
From "Because I'm an Alcoholic":
"A.A.
is my home now, and it is everywhere. I go to meetings when I travel
here or in foreign countries, and the people are family I can know
because of what we share. As I write this, in my twenty-eighth year of
sobriety, I am amazed to look back and remember the woman or child. I
was then, to see how far I've come out of that abyss. Alcoholics
Anonymous has enabled me to move from fantasies about what I might do
with my life into living it, one day at a
time."
